So, Ruby Tandoh has undergone a radical transformation.

In a move which has left her Twitter followers reeling this week, the Great British Bake Off star has taken to social media to share snaps of her new look, and it's fair to say opinion is divided.

The 24-year-old baker, who appeared in the 4th season of the much-loved baking competition, decided to ditch her trademark curls in favour of a buzz cut.

Uploading a snap of herself looking pretty defiant on Wednesday, Ruby wrote: "Do what you want.

Following the snap with her reasoning. Ruby added: "I realised I was always hiding behind my big mop of hair and pulling it over my face so i was like… bye curls, hello being unapologetic."

And while most social media users have praised the new look, not everyone has been so complimentary.

Taking issue with Ruby's decision to showcase her shaved head, one follower wrote: "Not attention seeking at all, is it?"

Owning her critic with one line, Ruby replied: "Is your bald ass head attention-seeking too?"

Remember that time you got your head stuck in a pumpkin while trying to prove a point to a sibling?

Yeah us neither, but that's because we know the rules of sibling rivalry, and forcing your head into a large vegetable is not one of them.

Unfortunately for Rachel Ralphs, she never got the memo and has become somewhat of an internet sensation after getting her head lodged in a pumpkin after failing to convince her brother she had scored the biggest one.

In a YouTube video which has racked up more than 10,000 views in mere days, Rachel can be seen sliding her head inside her pumpkin before getting stuck and being forced to crouch over the kitchen table while family members give a running commentary.

*Shout out to the younger sibling who continuously sings the same line over and over… and the mam who couldn't really care less.*

Ladies, it's mere hours (squeee!) until the whistle will be blown to officially kick off the Halloween Bank Holiday weekend.

Look, we'd be lying if we said we ever thought Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian were the best of friends, but we assumed there was an adequate level of warmth between the pair.

Well, it turns out we assumed wrongly.

With their husbands having worked alongside each other for years, it was inevitable that Beyoncé and Kim would have to share a drink, dinner or front row from time to time, but as far as Beyoncé was concerned the relationship was purely circumstantial.

In the wake of Kanye's rant against her husband, word has gotten out that there's no love lost between Beyoncé and Ye's wife either.

Speaking to Page Six, a source close to the Drunk in Love singer said: "Beyonce has never genuinely liked Kim."

"She’s mostly tolerated her because of their husbands’ friendship and their mutual friends, like Jennifer Lopez. She is always a little icy to Kim."

In a toe-curling description of the pair's dynamic, the insider added: "The last time they hung out, the minute Beyonce could leave the conversation, she did. They always have lots of awkward pauses. when they speak."

We're guessing Queen Bey is secretly thrilled Ye went off on Jay if it means she can permanently cut ties with the Kardashian-Wests.

Considering the fact she's been incredibly open about her nose job, it's surprising that Ferne McCann's fans and followers are adamant the star has had lip fillers and won't admit to it.

After opening up about the insecurities she's felt over her nose, Ferne happily revealed the results of surgery on This Morning.

So, why she would conceal further surgery if she has, indeed, had it?

"I'm sick and tired of people saying I've had my lips done," Ferne complained. "It's really starting to annoy me now. People always pick up on it."

31-year-old Ferne, who insists her plump pout is down to clever make-up work, seems reluctant to be 'part of the group' that opts for Kylie Jenner's look.

"I think because there's that craze of people having their lips done and people put me in that group – and I don't wanna be in that group," she admitted.

Speaking to Heat magazine, Ferne accepted the fact her lips have become a talking point due to the effort she puts into them, but insists her nose was her 'only insecurity'.

"I must admit in some pictures it can look OTT, but when you do your make-up I think you want your lips to look fuller and juicy and that pouty look."

So that's that, then.

With enough detective work, you can, according to the six degrees of separation theory, connect yourself with anyone in the world through no more than six people.

And while that seemed totally out there a few decades ago, the advent of social media has really reinforced the reality of the notion.

From Facebook to Tinder, you're connected to countless strangers through mutual friends, family members and work colleagues, but the idea of any one of them having been in your home without your knowledge is a creepy one, right?

So, it's no surprise one guy in the States was left pretty freaked out when he matched with a girl named Jenna Zagrodniczek on Tinder, and quickly realised her profile photo had been taken in HIS bathroom.

Taking to Twitter, 19-year-old Mark Kowalczyk shared side-by-side snaps, and wrote: "I've never see this girl before and yet, her tinder profile picture is in my bathroom."

Unsurprisingly the tweet was widely circulated and eventually came to the attention of Jenna who decided to freak Mark out even further by sharing another snap of herself in his home.

But before you go changing your locks and deleting your account, it turned out Jenna had been at a party in Mark's house and the pair hadn't managed to cross paths.

How big is that gaf?!

If you wants the goods on a celebrity, you watch Ellen, and if you really want the goods, you watch her Never Have I Ever segment.

Lobbing intimate questions at her A-list guests, Ellen is a pro at getting them to spill the deets, and her latest one with Martha Stewart, Snoop Dogg and Anna Kendrick was no different.

But while Twitter is in meltdown that domestic goddess, Martha, has sexted and lived it up at a nudist beach, personally we think Snoop was the unsung hero of that segment.

From happily revealing he's returned items to a store after wearing them – "Those shoes were hurting my feet!" – to admitting he's used his fame to get out of trouble – "Oh boy!" – the rapper definitely hasn't been given enough props in the Twitosphere.

Thankfully, it looks like the studio audience is with us on this one.

After years of watching our mothers fall on an icy G&T with the same excitement we reserved for a white Magnum, we suddenly realised what all the fuss was about.

And after graduating from warm cans of cider and flat beer, we discovered gin… and never looked back.

And while some SHEmazing! HQ  ladies – who shall remain nameless – consider themselves total connoisseurs, it turns out they’re not as clued-up as they think when it comes to what makes a great gin.

Thankfully for us, however, Aldi definitely is.

Boyle’s Premium Small Batch Irish Gin, which will be sold exclusively in Aldi stores nationwide as of today, has just won the coveted Best Irish Gin Award at the Irish Whiskey Awards 2016.

Commenting on the selection process, the judging panel said: ““Every year we see more and more releases in the Irish craft gin sector.”

“The quality of some of these products is outstanding and it demonstrates the skills of the new breeds of distillers around Ireland. Made by Blackwater Distillery in Waterford, our judges were impressed by Boyle’s fruitiness and balance.”

Coming in at €24.99, we’re stocking up and celebrating the Bank Holiday weekend in style.

If we thought the video for Taylor Swift's Bad Blood was a low blow, it's nothing on Katy Perry's latest social media contribution.

While attending a Kanye West concert this week, the Teenage Dream singer decided to record herself enjoying one of Kanye's most controversial tracks – Famous.

And for anyone who has been living under a rock for the best part of a year, this track – and one particular lyric contained within –  almost signalled the end of Taylor Swift's career.

After strenuously denying claims she had given a derogatory lyric about herself the go-ahead, leaked footage courtesy of Kim Kardashian revealed that Taylor had been telling some fairly hefty lies.

Looking pretty happy with herself, Katy pulled faces into the camera as she swayed to Ye's "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous" line.

And while some social media users have slammed Katy for the move, others have been quick to defend her.

"Omg Katy is so childish" and it wasn't childish when Taylor made a whole song and MV to drag Katy? And she worked so hard to make it #1?" countered one fan.

Your move, Taylor.

Much and all as we'd love the Gallagher brothers to draw a line under their tumultuous past and decide to play a stormer of a gig at Croker (too far?), deep down we know that that pair are unlikely to ever really bury the hatchet.

The siblings, who fronted one of the biggest bands of our generation, have made no secret of their inability to get along, and despite going their separate ways back in 2009, it looks like they're still incapable of being civil towards one another.

Proving as much during an interview with the Toronto Sun, Liam revealed that after happening upon his brother at a Manchester City game, he decided to forego the hearty handshake in favour of a nipple twist.

As you do.

"I think it was a football match in 2013 or ‘14. A Manchester City match and he was in one box and I was in another box. And I was in one floor and he was in the floor below me.” Liam explained.

"I went into see him and I pinched his nipple and kissed him on the ear. I don’t think we spoke," he added.

Offering an insight into Noel's reaction to the bizarre exchange, Liam recalled: "I think he pulled one of his faces like he’s sucking a f*cking lemon.”

Sounds about right.

When a show runs for as long as Friends did, it is inevitable viewers will begin wondering just how close the cast of actors and actresses truly were.

And while Sex and the City was plagued with rumours of cat fights and cold shoulders, most Friends fans focussed on the possible relationships which COULD have been blossoming behind the scenes.

Did Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox ever get it on in the early days? Did David Schwimmer and Jennifer ever toy with the idea of a real-life Ross and Rachel? And so on, and so forth.

Well, one woman who was more than happy to take the bull by the horns and address the idea head-on was given a platform to do so on The Late Late Show this week.

After appearing alongside James Corden in Carpool Karaoke, Lady Gaga laid one fairly cheeky question on fellow guest, Matt Le Blanc, who handled it like a PRO.

Fair play for trying, Gaga.

It took a sledgehammer and a pick-axe, but Donald Trump's star on Hollywood's iconic Walk of Fame has been destroyed.

A member of the public, who identified himself as Jamie Otis, chose to disguise himself as a construction worker before taking the tools to Donald's star in the early hours of this morning.

On a relatively deserted Hollywood Boulevard, the man could be seen chipping away at the star, which Donald was honoured with in 2007, before eventually smashing it to pieces.

According to Deadline, the individual at the centre of the incident claimed his actions were in response to the presidential candidate's treatment of women – both in public and private.

He explained that he had been hoping to extract the star and auction it off in order to raise funds for women who have come forward to accuse Trump of sexually assaulting them in the past.
